The are spaced :ipn-rl. from, tho color portion 4, of llic. swinging; frame, and lociiljod between then. is the Urixqmd lrmne S which reooivrs \s'itliin it the glass 9, which. is held oonlrally by ccniont, putty or other Sllililblll means 10. This U-slm'pod i'rmno, and. the inner and outer parts ol' the swinging frame are all united lvy rivets 11, as clearly shown in Fig. J. The glass is inserted by simply sliding it through tho top of the rawinging l'rmzio, :ii'ter having removed -the retaining strip 12. When lallc glabs in. position, the ramming strip is replaced and renowabl y hold by screws l3. By simply l'on'loving this cross bar, the glass can bu removed and renewed without taking apart, the swinging frame. As shown in Fig. 9, Lilo s'win' lilg lrzuno can be provided with muiilins win it is desired L0 have a. number of glass sections. The mum tin consists of bar 28, withflat bars 29 riveted or secured to opposite sides thereof, with the ends of 28 projecting beyond flat bars 29-, between plates 4 and 7, to which they are riveted or otherwise secured. These fiat bars 29 extend over the bar 28, and form a groove to receive the glass. The glass is inserted as heretofore described, by simply removing the top bar 12. When the window is in closed position, as in Fig. 1, the interior faces of the main and swinging frame will lie in the same vertical plane, and the parts of the swinging frame lying within the main frame will have their surfaces parallel with .the adjacent surfaces of the main frame. The pivot or hinge connection between the swinging frame-fend the main frame, is arranged about centrally between the top and bottom edges or faces of the swinging frame, while as regards its horizontal position, in relation to the swinging andi'nain frame, it is arranged as shown in Fig. 1, at the extreme inner side of the window opening, that is to say, it is arranged in the plane of the inner. wall of the room. This leaves the entire thickness of the swinging frame lyingat a point outside of the pivots or hinges, and the relation of the said pivots to the center of gravity is such, thsfit when theswinging frame is tilted, such, for instance, to the position shown in Fig. 2, it will automatically swing back to the vertical position of Fig.1, thus providing an automatic or self-closing window. To secure the Y swinging frame when closed, any suitable lock can be provided' l I V Q As above stated, thepivots'or hinges are" arranged at about the vertical center of the swinging frame, and this" construction per.-

'mits the swinging'frame to be completely. re-

versed without striking any part of the main frame. The swinging frame, when in reversed position, lies completely to the, inner side of the window opening, and entirely to the inner side of the main frame, where it is accessible for cleaning, removal, or where it may be readily replaced. By meansv of lo eating the pivotat the inner side of the swinging frame, the automatic action is secured without requiring any special construction of the swinging frame, such as would be necessary, for instance, to provide a preponderance ofwcight at the lower part of the said frame. 'lhehinge comprises pin tles 14, carried by blocks or brackets, secured-to the swinging frame, which pintles are adapted to rest in sockets 2Q, formed in brackets or blocks 17, secured to the inner face of the main frame bars. The pintles are held in 'place in those sockets by caps 18, secured by screws to the blocks or brackets 17, thesaid caps having semi-cylindrical portions 1%), which complete the bearings for the pintles by forming the cylindrical sockets 20.

In order to remove the swinging frame, it

pcarancc of the frame.

is simply necessary to swing it into the re versed position and take-off the caps 18, and

lift the swinging, frame so that its pintles will be lifted out of the bearing sockets. Of course, the swinging frame may be readily replaced in'position, by lifting it so as to place the pintles in thesockets, and

then apply and secure the caps 18. The re-" moval of the swin ing frame does not, requirethe services of a skilled person, as Will be evident from the above description[ We have simplified theconstruction and These'bars are preferably securedtoj the swinging frame at the sides, by means of the same rivets that unite the pie-53s 4, 7 and 8,

while the stop strip 22 is riveted to the strip 7. It will be observed that we construct the side cover plates so that there are no projecting guides or ribs, as is customary Withthe resent forms of wood and ,nletal, Window. frames, our frames presenting substantially The sashes being guide'd inthe V' shaped grooves which extend inwardly plain'fiat faces.

1; in the from the flat faces of the/cover pIateS ther'e is nothing to detract from the finished ap- By reference to Figs. 4 and 5, it-will seen that the stop strips 21 project inwardly from the edge of the main frame, and extend from-the hinge socket at one side around the lower-part of the frame, to the hinge socket at the opposite side. The stop sti'ip pfithb swinging frame projectsoutwardly from the edge of the same, as shown in Figs. 3 and16, and extends from the pintle bearing on one side ofthe said frame, to the on the opposite side.

flhe stop strips only serve to limit the swinging movement of the glass carr in'g frame, but wchave formed them as to exciude pintle hearing the weather, for which purpose each stop stri' is formed at its inner edge with a tur ,cd or channel portion 23, with'the chan-. nel facing outwardly, and these cl ranncl portions cooperate with the strips 21 22 secured to thesWingi-ng frame and main frame respectively. These strips are provided with od -cs turned towards the interior of the room, ti; enter the outwardly directed channel portions of the stop strips. .lhcse stop strips are riveted in place.

From the above, itwill be seen that We providea swinging frame capable of ltcing completely reversed, and having also the quality. of self-closing, and f urther, lli at the stop strips are all located on the interior side'of the frame. 4

For aiir'e-proof construction, it is neccssary that air space he provided within the frame.
